Phyllis and Becky reflect on their experience at the 2008 Oregon Reading Association Conference. Phyllis notes how in education and as a society we honor teachers that take risks but we pressure teachers to fit in a box and play it safe.

Phyllis examines John Maxwell's book "Failing Forward," and how it applies to teachers, our classrooms and our future.

Become a phenomenal teacher by taking risks and changing your perception of failure.
